Case Against Harrison
. Is Discharged*
THE STATE WAS ROT READY
Montgomery Fails to Secure Con
viction in First indictment.'
mt Prahlhttlaa F.n That It la
u arMnce That the Streagth
mt Liquor Law Is
Lost.
VkUon hu marked the first two ef
forts of the Montgomery officials to
•afore* the prohibition law. With the
discharge of H. K. Alexander on Tues
4ajr, irlth the fury In his case out
•nip tea or fifteen minutes, and with
the dismissal of the case against
Thomas Harrison yesterday for want
•C prosecution, the difficulty of secur
ing evidence or conviction In such In
stances was proven. The Outcome of
tbs two cases brings to friends of pro
hibition the ffiar that much of the ilrst
strength of the- liquor law iias been
lost, end violations are oVJlected.
Because of lack of prosecution.
Judge Armstead Brown yesterday dis
missed one of the cases against Thomas
Harrison, the soft-drink proprietor.
Who was Indicted for violating the pro
hibition law. Another case against
Harrison goes over until Friday,
ltaroh 11.
William Thweatt, the young min
who was witness against H. K. Alex-;
ander In the prohibition case of Tues
day, was also the main witness against
Harrison In the case which was dis
missed. Solicitor Stern announced tfftu
he was not ready to go Into tne case,
and 4s there was no rsason for a post
ponement, 411 witnesses being present,
the case was dismissed.
The second esse against Harrison Is
being pushed by >W K. Martin, who
Oseuples the dual role of witness and
prosecutor. Because of Martin’s ab
sence from the city, the case was
postponed.
It Is whispered that one of the rea
““ for the failure io go into the
> in which Thweatt was witness was
tbs desire to escape the effort which
would be made to make Thweatt out as
• professional witness, and one whose
purchases of liquor were largely In
ths nature of an Investigation, guided
by Interested psrtlas.
An effort was made by the defense In
ths Alsxandsr case, to prove Thweatt
a professional witness, but much of the
examination rslatlve to such a denoue
st was overruled.

THE BIBLE CORRECT
BISHOP SKLSOSi TALKS OP THE IR
HEFUTABLE KVIUKNCK.
lff*l All Hn To Attend the Church.
Where They Will Be Able To
Breathe the Ati
. ttod.
■There of
Bishop Nelson spoke at another im
pressive noon-day service yesterday In
the Mafestlc Theatre. His address was
largely a preface to that which he will
make today regarding the Irrefutable
testimony which proves the Bible cor
rect.
He also urged all men to attend
church, where they would be able to
breathe the atmosphere of God and un
Tlerstand hie religion.
“A woman had cather have her hus
band go to church with her, rather
than have a spring hat or a new auto
mobile,” he asserted. "What you moth
er, your wife, or your daughter or
your sweetheart wants Is that you sus
tain the higher Impulses In your life.
“Seek always to understand your re
ligion. I am satisfied that there lsn’>
anything on earth so abundantly test
ed as religion as presented In the
Bible.
“It we believe the witnesses of men,
we must believe the witnesses of God
for he has provided us with equally
good testimony. \
"People are often asked the res
son for their religious proclivities. We
get It by heredity, say some. The rea
son srhy I was a churchman Is because
I was a churchman In' the loins of my
father. But that doesn’t explain why
I remain one. Then environment also
plays s large part In making a man's
religion what It Is. Men choose, too,
their church, according to their tem
perament, as different churches empha
sise different phases of the religious
life.
“But these reasons -fqr believing in
one 'religion is not sufficient. We have
to have better reasons for being a
Christian than that. We are born ome.
If this Is how we get religion, we can
not stand In the fact of the'Infidels and
their arguments. We must meet them
In a fair and square fight. We can win
out. for we have Indisputable argu
ments."
What these are. Bishop Nelson will
explain today.

SEEK NEW HEARINGS
HE41E8TS GRANTED BIT MATTER
WILL AGAIN BE BROUGHT UP.
J. Finley Howard Wants a Change of
Venue, and Those Interested In
Foreign Franchise Tax Lan,
Want Unanimous Opinion.
Alabama's Supreme Court Is facing a
novel situation—two novel situations
In fact. For though the court grant
ed the requests of J. Finley Howard,
who asked for a new trial, after he had
been sentenced to fifty years' impris
onment for the arlme of murder, and
though It favored the State of Alabama
In upholding tHe foreign franchise tax
law. there have been filed applications
by both Howard and the State for re
heatings.
Howard desires that he be allowed a
change of venue, and asks for a re
hearing that the grant of a change of
venue may be embodied In the decis
ion granting the new trial. He run*
the risk of the new trial proposition
being over-ruled In the second appeal.
The application for a re-hearlng in
the foreign franchise tax matter comes
of a desire of the State that the for
mer decision of the Supreme Court be
made unanimous. There was one dis
senting opinion when the fight was
won.

Personal knowledge is the winning factor in the culminating contests of
this competitive age and when of ample character it places its fortunate
possessor in the front ranks of
The Well Informed of the World.
A vast fund of personal knowledge is really essential to the achievement of the
highest excellence in any field of human effort.
A Knowledge of Forma, Knowledge of Functions and Knowl
edge of Products are all of the utmost value and in questions of life and health
when a true and wholesome remedy is desired it should be remembered that Syrup
of Figs and Elixir of Senna, manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co., is an
ethical product which has met with the approval of the most eminent physicians and
gives universal satisfaction, because it is a remedy of
Known Quality, Known Excellence and Known Component'
Parts and has won the valuable patronage of millions of the Well Informed of thev
world, who know of their own personal knowledgfeand from actual use that it is the first
and best of family laxatives, for which no extravagant or unreasonable claims are made.^
This valuable remedy has been long and favorably known
Under the name of—Syrup of Figs — and has attained to world
wide acceptance as the most excellent family laxative. As its pure
laxative principles, obtained from Senna, are well known to physicians
and the Well Informed of the world to be the best we have
adopted the more elaborate name of—Syrup of Figs and
Elixir of Senna — as more fully descriptive of the remedy,
but doubtless it will always be called for by the shorter
name of — Syrup of Figs—and to get its beneficial
effects, always note, when purchasing the full
name of the Company — California Fig Syrup
Co. — printed on the front of every package,
whether you call for—Syrup of Figs
— or by the full name — Syrup of

Commercial Club May Take Up
Matter of an Alabama Exhibit
At the next meeting, the Commer
cial Club will take up the matter of
the Alabama exhibit to be placed at
the Alaeka-Toukon-Paelflc Exposition,
which opens In Seattle, Washington,
June 1.
Several communications have been
received from railroads promoting the
exposition and from the director gen
eral of the exposition asking that the
Alabama people attend to the matter
at once, because the buildings of the
great fair are nearly completely and
space for exhibits is now at a
premium.
It was thd intention of former Secre
tary Dawe of the Commercial Club
to advocate a great Alabama exhibit
at this exposition, because it was
known that many Western farmers
and business men, were considering
Immigration to the Eastern South.
President Ball and the other members
of the club feel the same way about
It and It la their idea to have an Ala
bama exhibit at the exposition, that
will attrict the attention of all. The
opportunity for this advertisement has
appealed 10 the business men of the
club and they mean to uae It to the
Vest advantage.
In the/ communications President
Ball received. til* matter of Alabama

The (recent development* In th* rail

Everybody Who Pays Street
Tax Now Does It With Protest
The aftermath of the street tax rush
entails almost much work on the
City Clerk and those In his ofllce as
did the actual receiving of money du
ring the past few days. Hundreds of
persons Just tharided In their money
with a slip of paper with their names
and addresses and left, not waiting for
a receipt, and now these receipts have
to be mailed to them. City Clerk Black
was burled In a mass of mall yester
day sending out the receipts, the Job
being punctuated rather often with
collections from those who strolled In
to get square.
The fact that there has been some
talk, with a halo of reliability about
It, that the tax Is invalid, haa damp
ened the ardor of tboae who were a
'lay or eo ago very anxloue to settle,
and the rush has dwindled to a mini
mum. Added to this those who do pay
almost Invariably add the word "pro
tested” to their papers and this adds
extra work to the clerical force.
Put all the same the city has nearly
<15,000 to Its eredlt In the banks and
possession being considered rather
weighty In the eyes of the law, to say
nothing of a "bird In the hand,” there
la a smile of satisfaction on ths faces
of those who are trying to reimburse
the city for the losses entailed by the
prohibition fever.
Error in Name Gives Man
Chance to Get His Freedom
Respite was granted Jules Stern, a
white man of Montgomery, from prob
able conviction In the City Court yes
terday, when he proved that the In
dictment which had been found against
him bore the wrong name.
Stern was Indicted by the grand l
Jury on the charge of forgery In the
second degree, but the Indictment bore |
the name of Julius Stern. When
brought for trial yesterday on (he
charge, Stern prored before the Jury
that his name was Jules and not Ju
lius. Because of the-faulty draft the
Indictment was quashed, and Stern
placed under bond of f40«. which he
made, to anawer any subsequent In
dictment that might be found by the
next grand Jury.
NEGRO FREED SO THAP
HE COULD HELD FAMILY
Sam Wllkerson, a negro, who had
been sentenced In the United States
Court for Illicit distilling, and wflo has
served six months of hts term, was
released from prison yesterday, upon
the order of Judge Thomas Q. Jones,
followlhg an application for a pardon.
The application, which was signed
by many of the most prominent citi
zens of Elba and Coffee County. In
which Wllkerson lived and operated,
declared that the negro's family was
totally dependent upon his labors for
their living, that his small farm was
heavily mortgaged, and that his ab
sence would bring about destitution of
his dependents, and the loss of hts
means of livelihood.
